INTRO
A - E7sus4 - E - RIFF 1

VERSE 1
A
You can take it all
E7sus4
The gifts you gave
                              E
Even rip the pictures off the wall
                                         A
They're yours now, cause I know you need them

A
The one thing that I wanted
E7sus4
Was just to take good care of you
E                   A
A job I'm underqualified to do
A
But you keep asking me
E7sus4
How long will it be?
E                             A
And how long, how long has it been?

CHORUS
A        E7sus4
How long, how long
E                       A
How long until we meet again?
A        E7sus4
How long, how long,
E                         A
How long until I see you again?

VERSE 2 - Use RIFF 1 to lead into second verse.
A
So you're selling all your clothes
E7sus4                                            E
Your records and anything of value that you might own
                         A
To help you buy a ticket out of here
A
The one thing that I wanted 
E7sus4                        E
Was just to take good care of you
                    A
A job I'm underqualified to do
A
But you keep asking me
E7sus4
How long will it be?

And how long, how long has it been?

A        E7sus4
How long, how long

How long until I, til I see you again?
